Summer Break

That's right. We waited 9 long months, but summer vacation is finally here. Yes, I'm one of those moms who count the days, just as much as the child does. I can't help it. I LOVE having my boy home with me all day, every day. And now that it is actually boys, I'm even more excited!

We have lots of fun things planned over the next few months, and they will all be even more special since it is Max's first summer. One of the things Alex has been planning on is getting into the kitchen and cooking even more than he usually does. He actually has a couple cookbooks of his very own, and he has been picking out the recipes he wants to try for a few months now.

This was the first one we decided to make. A homemade sauce that we can have on a hot day without heating up the house? Sign us up!

This is technically a spaghetti sauce, but we had 2 boxes of ziti in the cupboard, so that's what we served it over. Absolutely delicious!

If your kids are home and you've already run out of things to do with them, try cooking with them! You would be surprised just how much they will love getting involved in making what they eat, and you will love the memories you make!

Hi Jo, thanks so much. I think you could totally throw in some frozen meatballs and let them cook in the sauce too! Yum! And here is a link to another recipe you might find helpful too! http://everydaymomsmeals.blogspot.com/2012/06/things-are-heating-up.html

The Everyday Family

Meet Your Everyday Mom

I am the every day mom in "Everyday Mom's Meals". I am a full time wife and mother. Adam and I have been married since May 2003, but together since May 1997. We have two beautiful sons, Alex & Max. Alex is 12 and a VERY active young man. He is a Tae Kwon Do National Champion and straight A student. We just welcomed Max in August of this year, and he has completed our family. We enjoy spending time together, and some of our best times are spent around our dining room table eating down to earth, family friendly, easy to make food. Please join me in my kitchen, and on our family adventures!
